Just get one of them commie guns
I know, its just the rifle doesn't make much sense if you don't already have an AK.
As for ergos, you only really get the safety. Sure there's handguards, but there's also long handguards for the AK as well.
The mutant does not have a BHO, so you have to pull the charging handle. Might as well just live with the downsides of the AK, or get the M10X.
I GET that you don't (you only needed to say it once). I'm saying the whole point of he CMMG mutant is that niche, where a person has an AK with a lot of mags and wants another rifle that uses AK mags.
Other than that, its just an expensive AR that requires getting other mags. The only thing it has over the AK is that it has a thumb safety. There's no BHO, unless you use Yugo or Croatian BHO mags. But once you take the BHO mag out, the bolt is released.
I've shot the pistol variant.
Was tons of fun.
It felt AR15 like.
Weighed AR10 like.
I guess AKs are heavy so it makes sense.
If I were to add the 7.62x39 back to my caliber list I would consider it a contender.
The bolt is the best part of the rifle. It is freaking huge. Compared to a milled 556 bolt, it should never break. Like the AR15 bolts can chambered in 7.62x39.
My only complaint is there is no bolt hold open as AK mags are not made for such a thing. Kind of defeats the point for me to have the AR since that's what an AR does. Combine that with a charging handle, it kind of sucked for reloads compared to an AK. With an AK you swipe the empty, rock the new one in, and come under to cycle the charging handle. I know this. I've done it many times when I shot and owned AKs. Having to do the swipe, rock, then come back and grab an AR charging handle felt stupid.
Just my thoughts on it.
Hope it helps.
Well if I only needed to say it once, why did you keep suggesting it?
I didn't make this thread to argue, nor did I make it for people to suggest I get an AK. I asked about a SPECIFIC firearm and anyone that has had experience with it. Is that ok, or should I still just buy an AK?

You missed my point.
Do I need to mention why it doesn't make sense when it fills a niche that wouldn't matter to someone who didn't already have an AK and a bunch of mags again? Or will that be read as a suggestion again?
And... M10x would make more sense than the mutant. An AK with siderail would also make more sense. If it was just an ease of mounting an optic thing.OK, here's more...
I like the AR platform. I like that optics are way easier to mount and use on an AR. I also thought maybe having an "AR" in 5.56 and one that takes AK mags would cover nicely if SHTF. You could grab either off the sheep or bad guys and be GTG.
